This is the continuing saga of the Winston family, which has been uprooted from their affluent lifestyle in New York City and is now living on a farm in Iowa. None of the Winstons expected to share their father's vision of making the farm a success, but they became invested in their new home with loves and dreams of their own. Now they need to call upon their newly acquired self-reliance to grapple with the tragedies and heartaches of the coming months. Family rivalries intensify as Andrew becomes more enamored with Penny, putting him on a collision course with his brother. Mack. Thomas and John's contempt for each other intensifies and Annie languishes over Sonny's seemingly aloof indifference. Matthew struggles with personal demons when he encounters financial difficulties and Luke is deployed to Vietnam. The Winstons learn that strength comes from within but also from the perpetual cycle of nature and the permanence of the land they love.
